Two burglars who were caught in the act by a resident early Monday, then shot at as they escaped, may have been caught on a home security video camera as they drove away.

“We’ll see if there’s any useful evidence on the video,” Concord police Lt. Jim Lardieri said Tuesday.

The burglary occurred about 12:50 a.m. Monday in the 1300 block of Janet Lane. Police said resident Robert Jolivette, 44, was awakened by noises, looked outside and saw two men inside his wife’s Ford sedan.

He armed himself with a .22-caliber pistol and went to confront the men, police said.

After the confrontation, the burglars got into their vehicle, described as a white Cadillac Escalade with chrome rims and gold center caps, and drove away. As they did, Jolivette fired two shots, one of which may have struck the vehicle’s rear corner panel, police said.

Jolivette was later arrested on suspicion of negligently discharging a firearm.

A resident who lives about four blocks south of Janet Lane found out about the incident and checked security video at his home, Lardieri said. The video shows a white SUV driving past the home about the time of the burglary and shooting.

The resident called police and turned over the video. On Tuesday afternoon, Lardieri said police had not reviewed the footage.

Police described one of the burglars as a Latino in his 20s, 5 feet 9, 180 pounds, clean shaven, with black hair in a buzz cut, and wearing a brown-and-tan flannel shirt, bluejeans and black shoes. The other male suspect was described as wearing a dark-hooded sweatshirt.
